Services

The day includes a small parade, church service, and wreath laying ceremony in remembrance of the men and women from Australia and Greece that fought and fell in the battle of Crete in May 1941. We pay our respect to those people.

To pay tribute to all Boer War Veterans that fought in our First War as a Nation 1899-1902. A Commemoration service will commence with a march up to the eternal flame by Boer War Veterans descendants, followed by a band, Creswick Light Horse, Boy Scouts, and Girl Guides. All Boer War descendant family members and anyone that has an interest are most welcome.

This service takes place on the nearest Sunday to Memorial Day, an American holiday to remember those who have died in military service. The Association promotes the welfare of American ex-servicemen and women in Australia.

This service is held to remember and commemorate the service and sacrifice of Aboriginal service men and women, who have served Australia in every major conflict from the Boer War to the present.

The annual ceremonial wreath laying service runs for up to an hour. In addition to the welcome address from Aunty Dot Peters and other speeches, there will be performances by the Royal Australian Air Force band and Mullum Mullum Indigenous Gathering Place Choir. All members of the public are welcome to attend, and will be invited to lay a poppy in remembrance at the end of the service.

Held annually on 6th June this service commemorates the Allied landings in Normandy, France on 6 June 1944, better known as 'D-Day'. The largest amphibious landing in history, almost 200,000 men were involved in the invasion on the first day alone and it is now considered to mark the true beginning of the liberation of Europe. The service also pays respects to those men who would fight in Normandy over the coming weeks as the Allies fought to break out of the beach head and push the Germans back.
